"I want to become AKB0048's Pillar, Murasaki Alisa, also known as Alirin. It's a pleasure to meet you."

- Alisa's Stage Introduction Catchphrase

Alisa Murasaki  is one of the current understudies of AKB0048's 153rd Generation. She is known to be overly polite to everyone, and any jokes she makes are usually self-deprecating. She is also known as Alirin.

Appearance
Alisa has long, blonde hair, with parted pigtails. She has peach eyes with heart lining in them. There is also a clover lining in her eyes, the meaning of which is unknown. She does also have a slight case of heterochromia that only shows as a slight tint. She is neither tall nor short. There is also a heart lining in her hair.

Normally, she dresses in modest clothes, but she does an effort to wear modern clothes.

Personality
Alisa is known to be overly polite to everyone she speaks to, no matter who it is, she never uses casual speaking patterns, persisting to using the suffixes -san even with people she is close with, something that tends to annoy some people. This is also a reason to the fact that the only jokes she can ever pull of are self-depracting.

She tends to not contradict anyone unless it's neccessary, instead choosing to keep her opinions and thoughts to herself, and if she chooses to voice her opinion, it's usually done as a question.

She does at times not even speak up when it would be preferential, if it would disturb an already ongoing conversation. At times like that, she normally silently does what her idea was, not confirming it with the others.

Pre-00
Alisa was born to her parents, Murasaki Kei and Ayano, and was always a reserved child. She hardly ever spoke, whether it being with others her age or adults. For most part of her childhood, her parents thought it was due to being shy and self-doubting, and constantly tried to get her to talk, and get out of her shell. However, as she grew older, they realized that it wasn’t because she was insecure that she wasn’t talking much, but rather that she didn’t feel like talking unless it was absolutely necessary.

This, of course, left her without a lot of friends in her childhood, something she has stated didn't bother her all that much. This also meant that she was never subjected to casual interaction, and it reflected onto her way of speaking; always using the polite way to speak.

Despite being a citizen of Akibastar from birth, Alisa was never really interested in AKB0048 for the most part of her life, figuring there were more important things than an idol group. Eventually, though, she had a run-in with a few of the members, and realized they were normal girls who was doing a job, a job that let them do a variety of things rather than being stuck doing one, sole thing. This was what appealed to her and really made her consider auditioning, and when she brought the prospect of joining AKB and becoming a member to her parents, they were concerned at first, as Alisa still had not started talking a lot, more than when she was younger, but still far less than most girls her age. She convinced them to let her join eventually, though.
